Lizzie Kelly makes history on ‘awesome’ Tea For Two

Hayley Turner was among those to offer their congratulations to Lizzie Kelly after she rode into the history books when Tea For Two jumped immaculately to win the Kauto Star Novices’ Chase at Kempton on Saturday.

The now-retired Turner led the way for female jockeys, becoming the first to ride an outright Group One winner in Britain, but no lady had previously ridden a Grade One winner in a chase.

That changed in tremendous style and backers of the 9-4 chance never really had an anxious moment.
